The Clay Aiken one is especially bad/funny because 1) Aiken is now so obscure the site had to put his name in parentheses because his face is no longer famous enough for us to remember without help and 2) The protagonist who gets all the awful tattoos in the Weird Al song "Another Tattoo" has one.

Lamadin:doglover: wildcardjack: Instead of getting a tattoo I grew an epic beard. The great thing about an epic beard is that not everyone can grow an epic beard and I can get rid of it in ten minutes.

Also, you can braid things into it like beer mugs.

I'd love to grow one. Work forbids it though. They don't, however, forbid tattoos. Hence, tattoos.

/White collar job (which conveniently hides most of said tattoos)

I'm glad for your sake they forbid sinking an ice pick into your own brain. At least I assume they do as you're still here posting.

theknuckler_33:maram500: Some people hate themselves, some people don't want a decent job, and some people were on crack/meth/heroin/oxy.

What in Dog's name would possess people to get those tattoos? It's like they lack any kind of brain activity at all.

They're free spirits. Non-conformists. They don't care what anyone thinks of them, man. Consequences on quality of life be damned!

Oh yes--"free spirits" and "non-conformists." Getting a stupid tattoo (or a tattoo at all, and the vast majority are stupid) seems to be conforming in and of itself. As a very wise man once said (and I'm paraphrasing because lazy), if you want to be a non-conformist, go stick your head in a book at the library like the Asian kids. They don't care what people think.

Not saying there is anything with reading at the library, but you picked a terrible example for non-conformity.

So this idiot hasn't been to a concert in a decade, and he picks Nickelback?Also saw Gwen Stefani twice, and still hasn't figured out how to spell her name right.

/looks like they just copy-pasta'd from this site

I buy a t-shirt at each concert I go to (mostly metal, because fark you) just to show people where I've been. It's never occurred to me to tattoo the artist/date on myself. Or to get my ticket stub tattooed on my entire forearm (#5). These ideas open whole new avenues of possibility...

/#1 shoulda been #48. You don't want people clicking back off your page immediately.

There was a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon (which I will also just describe...also lazy) where Calvin pointed out that the headbangers that listened to heavy loud music had grown up to become the establishment. So to rebel, he was going to listen to nothing but elevator music...very quietly.
